For Sale
THE FORM

Indiana law requires a sales disclosure form (SDF) be reviewed for completeness by the county assessor​, for any property in the entire county, before being forwarded to the county auditor and must accompany any conveyance document. 

​

The following are recommendations and/or noteworthy reminders of items which many experience issues which may result in the form being rejected:

​

  • Legal Description (Section A)

    • Entire section needs filled out, unless mailing address is same as property address - that section can remain blank then.

    • For Number 7 use the building description, commonly referred to as the short legal. The full complete legal often times will not fit OR state "see attached legal" and add it to the back of the SDF.

    • If multiple parcels fill in page 5.

      • Each parcel must have its own legal description.​

  • Conditions​ (Section B)

    • All questions need answered 'yes' or 'no'.
